We thought that we should share these atmospheric images from the heyday of metal office furniture. Forges de Strasbourg were undoubtedly one of the leading manufacturers of this furniture. The longevity of these pieces speaks in itself for their quality. And if you have ever tried to move one the weight of the metal plate is also testament to the quality.

We currently have for sale a Strafor clapet. From the bound and dated account books that we would found inside we date it to just after the turn of the last century at about 1910. A truly exceptional piece of a very practical size. The carbonised steel burnishes to a deep silvery black lustre which is particularly well set off by the original brass fittings. Beware of imitations!
